Re: Fear of Islam and Muslims
CAtty,
It’s quite an interesting read. Couldn’t agree with you more when you said “Political motivations far outweigh any religious concerns for bombers.” We the so called moderate muslims in general get a bad name because these handful of “muslims” (OBL and his likes) find it convenient to use Islam as facade and voice to make their plight heard; a crafty strategem indeed (useful until now). But we, the moderate muslims, are somewhat culpable too. Everytime we are asked to take a solid stance on the issue of suicide bombing and terrorism, we always cop out with some retarded demagogic argument. Just look around this website; it’s abound with threads by half-wits on conspiracy theories and blame gaming of the West. I hate every person who blames India for the break-up of Pakistan. It was “us.” It was our blunder and we killed our own brethern and now we blame india for it. Just like we are now blaming the West for the quagmire we are in today
So, wake up peeps…
Oh, What indestructible muslim unity are you talking about???
Also, just a minor technical correction: You shouldn’t bash the “fundamentalist” follower of any religion. Anybody who follows fundamental version of islam, christianity or judaism (none of which preach violence) is a “fundamentalist,” and hence nothing wrong with that. It’s the “extremists” who should be rebuked. Apologies for the long post. Let me leave before PCG floods this place.
